Nikki,
Some believe the Supreme Court has a majority of justices that are willing to grant cert. to disallow a disparate impact theory in the context of disability law. The Doe v. CVS case was going to be that opportunity until it was settled by the parties. Believe me, there will be political retribution for the LACCD trustees if they permit this case to be the destruction of disparate impact theory for disabled people.

Hello,
Thank you so much for making us all aware of this serious issue. Also, thank you for telling us how to get involved to make our voices heard.
I'm curious from a legal standpoint, does LACCD have a strong case for Supreme court review? Is there a split of authority on this particular issue in the lower courts?
Thank you so much!
Nikki
